This is a good movie about the late SNL star as Jamie Gertz plays Gilda like it was Gilda that come alive. She has a loving family(in particular a loving father who may have influenced her to become a comedienne). She makes groundbreaking history as one of the few women comedienne's at the time. Also she and the SNL cast become very popular as the Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time-Players originals. Though her films weren't box office hits, her SNL legacy will live on. The only positive impact and person in her life was her husband, actor-writer Gene Wilder. Whom both were married from 1984 until her death in 1989. How their love story was just so, so genuine.
*SPOILERS* Did you know in the scene when rehearsing for the 1982 film "Hanky Panky" where they met perhaps for the first time that Gene Wilder confessed to her that he had never, ever watched Saturday Night Live as she ran through the characters that made her so popular with the show. Guess he wasn't one of the millions of people that wasn't familiar with the show!!
